This Gold Kennedy is tacky. Screw it forever. The only gold Kennedy I'll ever buy is some of those gold foil wrapped chocolate ones that sell in a bag of 10 or so.
This US Mint trend to put out everything from the past, in Gold, really is tacky IMHO.
You'll not see me wasting my money on any of that BS.

Maybe, but I also think the Mint's markup on some of the "collectibles" is excessive. Yes, they have employees to pay, health insurance costs, buildings, etc, but I still think they are excessive and could be done at a lower cost and still cover what they need to cover.....if they were smarter in how they did things.

Sales are still surprising stong, considering the sales of other numis items. (Proof Buff gold, proof SAE's, etc.) There might be a pick up (or at least a less strong decline) after Black Friday for Christmas.
The discussion about damaged or blemished coins in 70 slabs comes up in almost every thread about recent modern issues. I will put it plain and simple for those of you who beat around the bush about the subject. There are many coins put in 70 slabs that are clearly scratched, blemished or otherwise damaged just to meet quotas and for the $$$$$$$$$. These damaged coins are then shipped to the buying public who expect to get a nice coin with no scratches, lines, brush marks, ect. for the high prices they have to pay. While the sellers have dozens of excuses why a 70 does not mean a perfect coin they will find their sales falling off if they continue to ship damaged coins. It is true that if you throw enough $$$it against the wall it will stick, eventually it will start to fall off.

Has anyone yet proposed an ETF for Moderns in grade MS/PF 70 ? It might be the ulimate way to trade in this paper driven commodity. A person could make a million in this really fast.

This thread will keep going because the coin deserves being kicked when it's down due to the disgusting tactics of a few greedy dealers. Its like the saying goes: "Some people are like slinkies - Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs."

I just tried to look at current pricing for the 2014 Kennedy varieties and I have to admit that it's become too confusing to even bother. I know that there are 7 different, or 9 different Kennedys this year - I just don't know what PCGS is calling them all.

I think it would be better if there was no limit, but collectors and dealers were focused on other areas so minted to demand results in 5,000 or less, e.g. Jackie Robinson UNC gold.

Using the mints poor quality control and variations in coins produced as an excuse for a rare or different variation grade is
just another BS excuse to try and gouge the collecting public for more $$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Maby we need a sniffer to detect the "trickle down effect from the TPG's and other greedy dealers."
